The local plan for Career and Technical Education is
being made available to you earlier this year.The early availability of the plan is to enable you to have additional
time for planning, developing, and approving the plan with representatives
required by the Standards of Quality and the Carl D. Perkins Career and
Technical Education Act of 1998.We
hope the extra time will help in meeting the due date of May 6, 2005.

Changes have been made in the 2005-06 plan.The changes are based on the updated
Standards of Quality approved by the General Assembly and on requirements for
the extension of the state Perkins plan that was submitted for the 2004-05
school year.Since new legislation has
not been approved for Career and Technical Education, we have made minor
changes from the previous required local applications.
